    Parking brake with Wilwood set up?

    What does the Factory Five Wilwood brake kit use for a parking brake?

    The OEM drum style parking brake works with the Wilwood rotors.

    The stock system. The WW rotor-center is the same ID (I hope) as the Subaru rotor.
    *Disclaimer- I only have the fronts, but will be ordering the rears when I find at least a little deal on them...

    WW has kits that retain the OEM parking brake, it's what my R has. The parking brake doesn't work great though, I suggest moving the lever forward of where they want you to mount it to allow for more adjustment in the cables.

    Yes the OEM 02-07 drums work no problem with rear Wilwood kit.

    Move the lever forward so the cables are stretched more?

    Thanks as always. One less thing on my mind. I'll replace it with another!

    So you're not at the very end of the adjustment.
